1. The hardware navigation buttons backligh doesn't work, and if You check the settings and turn on system navigation buttons, You won't be able to turn them off 
They will always be there, unless You install the ROM again, lol. So better don't try them...
2. There are no settings to change the actions for hardware navigation buttons and home button (S4 hardware buttons). I used to change the actions so buttons behave similar way like on Andorid 4.4 Here, You won't be able to change single action for them. Only power button and volume up and down.
3. "Dark mode" for sms / messages app doesn't work at all - the screen is always white. It will literally burn Your eyes.
4. There is no way to move, hide or disable the google search bar on main screen. I <3 Google for that one.
5. Same like on LOS 14.1, 15.1 there is a huuuge delay after You press the power button to unlock Your screen - around 2-3 sec
6. Cam / Vid app has this weird black frames around the screen - no matter which cam quality setting You will choose. It looks like small cam screen floating in dark space Autofocus is crazy - doesn't catch the focus or stays locked at on point unless You run the app again. I didn't find out why. Seems random. Some options - from option bar are missing - there are just empty spaces between the icons (only two icons are there - camera style (sepia, monochrome, etc) and switch between front and back cam)
EDIT:
Also, there is no music player, voice recorder or global equalizer. But I guess everyone can download his own app's to cover this.
I was happy to test that one - same like unofficial LOS 14.1 and 15.1, but custom ROM's are far away from calling them stable and bug-free. They are just playground for young developers - which is good, but sadly, custom ROM's are unusable if You are searching for a proper code which can be used on a daily bases. Ofc, You can still use this ROM, just like unofficial LOS 15.1, but You need to get used to these bugs which probably won't be fixed. You may ask why? Because these unofficial ROM's are trying to be delivered for all android devices, and every android device has different hardware, so for that reason, our S4 hardware navi buttons didn't get any support / settings or backlight options....Same goes with cam / vid app - some options are missing, but only unified options which can be use on every android device are there.
The only "semi-usable" custom ROM I've tested was the LOS 13.1 - discontinued at this point. Feel free to test it out tho. Imho, the best custom ROM for i9506-LTE so far.
After all, I much rather recommend this ROM that LOS 15.1 for i9506-LTE On this one, at least there is no problem with losing network connection, gps location issues and disabling WiFi connection on locked screen after some time.
So thank You for all this work. I would love to check this one again, after few months.
Good luck with this project.
